Previous research has shown that population densities of plant-parasitic nematodes are reduced when a legume crop is grown in rotation with sugarcane. However, this effect is only temporary, as nematodes usually return to high densities within 12 months of planting sugarcane. This rapid resurgence suggests that natural enemies that normally keep plant-parasitic nematodes under control in natura...

Briquettes offer good value in terms of energy density. Briquetting sawdust with paddy straw is a ray hope for waste utilization, which has been burning issue India long time. A commercial briquetting machine was used to make briquettes two different forms—shredded and chopped, ratios, separately. The ratio increased until the produced had an acceptable firmness. maximum shredded possible 40:60...

Sawdust is a by-product of woodwork operations such as sawing, sanding, milling, planning and routing. It mainly composed fine chippings wood. This study compares contrast the properties carbonized non-carbonized briquettes made from sawdust. Eight (8) different samples were synthesized (four (4) for non–carbonized four briquettes) with equal binder concentrations 3.0, 5.0, 7.0 9.0 % w/w respec...

An experiment was carried out with 80 straight run broiler chicks (cobb-500) reared on rice husk and sawdust to know the production efficiency at 5 weeks during summer. A total were divided into 4 groups assigned 2 treatments i.e. T1 T2 in which used sawdust. Number of birds per replication 10. Live weight differed significantly 5th age (P<0.05). Feed consumption higher litter than husk. con...

A 4-year trial was established in Oct. 2016 western Oregon to evaluate the effects of various in-row mulch treatments on yield, fruit quality, and costs installation maintenance during establishment northern highbush blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L. ‘Duke’). The included douglas fir [ Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] sawdust, black weed mat (woven polypropylene groundcover), green mat, ...

Fecal contamination of bedding has been associated with coliform mastitis caused by E. coli, while coliform mastitis caused by Klebsiella spp. is associated with wet sawdust and wood shavings.(1) Coliform mastitis has an average incidence rate of 15% to 20% in herds with low somatic cell counts (SCC) and is implicated in 30% to 40% of clinical cases. It is a common cause of fatal mastitis in ca...

organic solvents. In this study, NiFe2O4/sawdust nanocomposite was synthesized for removingoil pollutants. The oil-adsorbing nanocomposite could be easily separated from water bymagnet bar. The XRD results show tetragonal phase proving the composite formation. TheFESEM pictures successfully reveal the growth of NiFe2O4 on the sawdust template. The FTIRbands at 422 cm-1 and 615 cm-1correspond to...
